    Question RTX 3050 Question

    Hi all, I have an RTX 3050 in my PC, however, the game I'm playing says that to run on full graphics, you need at least an RTX 3070. However, I've been running on full graphics on my RTX 3050 with very little lag. Would running my graphics at full with an RTX 3050 damage the PC? Thanks, Josef
